Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed October 4, 1916. Serial No. 123,681.

Loo-AN, a citizen of the United States, re-

siding at Los Angeles, in the county of Los Angeles and State of California, have invented a new and useful Fm-nace-Burner for Liquid Fuel, of which the following is a specification. 1

My invention relates to in'iprovements' in a furnace hurnerfor liquid fuel in which the mixture of the fuel and the fluid by which it is atomized is effected outside of the .device, and the objects of my invention are is easily and quickly adjusted in the same burner to meet the Widely varying conditlons of practice and to afford means within the burner for pointing the flame in any desired direction to suit the requirements I of the furnace.

I attain these objects in the mechanism illustrated in the acconn'ianying drawings in which- Figure 1 is a side elevation in section of the entire device. Fig. 2, is a front view of the entire device. Fig. 3, is. an inside view of'one of the halves forming the body of the device. Fig. 4, is a top view of one of the plates 5 or 7 which shows the cut for the discharge port and shows the diaphragm 6 behind.

Similar figures refer to similar parts throughout the several views.

The body of the device is composed of the two like halves 1 and 2 carrying the annular channels 3 and 4, respectively, which communicate. respectively, by the ports 9 and 10 with the oil and the steam conduits 11 and. 12.

Between these two halves 1 and 2 is firmly held by the center bolt 8 the oil plate 5, the diaphragm (3 and the steam plate 7. In the operation of the device steam, or other like fluid, in proper amount, is admitted to the burner by the conduit 12. The

steam then enters the channel 4 and passes out from the burner, like the spread of a fan,

. by the cut 14 in the plate 7 Oil, in proper amount, is then admitted by the conduit 11 to the burner. The oil then enters the channel 3 and passes out by the cut 13 in the plate 5 and falling upon the spread of out- Patented Dee. t, 19M.

flowing steam, issuing from the cut 14, is

carried away in a properly atomized state for burning.

The steam plate 7 is of such a thickness in comparison with the oil plate5 as. to properly proportion, within certain limits, the

amount of steam to the amount of oil issuing from the burner.

If a heavy or a light fire is requiredthick or thin plates for the steam and the oil with a proper width of cut to accommodate the burner to the width of the furnace, are placed between the two halves of the burner body. all being firmly held together by tightening the center bolt 8.

The direction of the flame from the burner can easily be. changed by loosening the bolt S and turning the oil and steam plates to. gether with their separating diaphragm 6 to any point in a'complete circle.

It is obvious that, with the oil meeting the atomizing fluid outside of the burner, oil under a very low pressure can be used; the burner being easily adapted to such a wide difference between the oil and steam pressures by inserting into the burner an. oil plate considerably thicker than the steam plate.

Having thus described my invention ll claim 1. In a. liquid fuel burner, a casing comprising two membcrs, a hole through the center of each member, a disk between said members, a plate between said disk and one of the members and having a fan-shaped cut from its periphery, anothcrplate between said disk and the other member and having a similar portion but larger cut away from its periphery, means for securing said.

disk alid said plates together, comprising holes through said disk and plates adapted to register with the holes in the members, a bolt in said holes, and means to secure Y to be clamped together, of a eentral'disk between said members a plate on .either side of s aid disk and having portions cut from outer portiohsjgj the plates rnay be made to.
